Enum ChangeType

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable<ChangeType>
    public enum ChangeType
extends java.lang.Enum<ChangeType>
    Enumerates the types of changes that can be detected between two XML documents.

    Change types are classified as either semantic (affecting the meaning of the XML) or formatting-only (affecting only the presentation). This classification enables filtering to focus on meaningful changes while ignoring formatting noise.

    Since:
    1.3.0

    XmlChange, XmlDiff

      • values

        public static ChangeType[] values()
        Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows: 
        for (ChangeType c : ChangeType.values())
    System.out.println(c);

      • valueOf

        public static ChangeType valueOf​(java.lang.String name)
        Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
        Parameters:
        name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
        Returns:
        the enum constant with the specified name
        Throws:
        java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
        java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null

      • isSemantic

        public boolean isSemantic()
        Returns whether this change type represents a semantic change that affects the meaning of the XML document.

      • isFormattingOnly

        public boolean isFormattingOnly()
